Smith won the British BreakThrough Act award at last week's
ceremony, helping lift sales of his album "In the Lonely Hour"
to number one from number two.
By contrast, "Smoke & Mirrors," by Imagine Dragons, last week's
number one, fell to twelfth place.
British singer Ed Sheeran, winner of British Male Solo Artist,
grabbed the number two spot with "X", while British hard rock
group Royal Blood, winners of the British Group award, bagged
the third slot, up 15, with their self-titled album.
In the singles chart there was no change from last week.
Ellie Goulding topped the chart for a fourth week, the Official
Charts Company said, with her track "Love Me Like You Do," a
song which appears in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie.
Hozier's "Take Me To Church" held steady in second, and Mark
Ronson's "Uptown Funk" featuring Bruno Mars, remained in third
place.
